INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18200713 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

This patent application describes a control method for an information processing apparatus that can wirelessly communicate with a communication apparatus. The method involves the following steps:

  • The information processing apparatus identifies a specific access point that supports a network setup using a predetermined protocol.
  • The information processing apparatus sends a signal to the communication apparatus, instructing it to initiate a specific operation for the network setup using the predetermined protocol.
  • The information processing apparatus then proceeds to execute the network setup using the predetermined protocol.

The innovation in this patent application lies in the control method that enables the information processing apparatus to wirelessly communicate with the communication apparatus and perform the network setup using a predetermined protocol.


Original Abstract Submitted

A control method for an information processing apparatus capable of wirelessly communicating with a communication apparatus, includes: executing, based on a fact that a predetermined access point different from the information processing apparatus and different from the communication apparatus supports a network setup by a predetermined protocol, transmission control for transmitting, to the communication apparatus, a signal for causing the communication apparatus to start a predetermined operation for the network setup by the predetermined protocol; and executing processing for executing the network setup by the predetermined protocol in the information processing apparatus.
